GT wheel shampoo is pretty good, team that up with any good tar/fallout remover Finish with a good sealant.

Hi wedders, I think I've got the same issue as you if I've read it correct. When you start the car the top left rev lights turn on and then off. When I drive the car, going up the revs the lights do not come on dot by dot. However the vtec light on opposite side does come on when engaged.

There should be a grill to go with the GP lower bumper. Whether it comes as part of the kit when you purchase I can't tell you sorry.

Have you a link for both?

I've got 57 Milano Fn2 - just ticked 63k, doing on average 2k a year in my ownership.

How many collars are needed then for the Fn2? Isnt the subframe click usually the 2 sections at the front of the car?

That's a great read, thanks David. Guess that's what I'm buying next then... Let's go price shopping. Is it only spoon who manufacture them?

Can you shed more info on that? It's just I think mines now developing the click, wow, irritating! Not heard of spoon collars? How do they work to stop the click?

How can only half a job be done on the sub frame click? I thought all they do is clean out and re grease the frame before tightening. Only asking as I think mines doing the same and looking on how to fix without it coming back.

What's your plans for it then?

Nexen tyres aren't that cheap of a brand, I've got nexens all round on mine and love them.

Don't go White. Just my opinion but white looks awful unless on white or black. Stick with the gunmetal colour scheme. See if you can get a colour match off the trim on the front grille. It would link the car together colour wise. If you find yourself selling the rages drop me a PM with price ��

How much were these and where did you get them from?

I did exactly that for the same reasons, had my St2 on a pcp deal with ford. However I knew I had positive equity in the ST and sold it to free up cash. As other posts say, they are 2 different cars. However I do find myself looking again at the fiesta ST and you'll prob do the same. Watching...

I have the 19" rage alloys currently on my CTR but I've not heard of the adjusting of dampers. However I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will clear it up. Yes the ride is hard but I just changed the tyre profile slightly by going to a 225/40 rather than the 225/35

unnecessary spend to be honest. Simple basic tools will suffice. Again watch the YouTube clip by FnLew and it's about an hours job if never done before.

Ha ha, don’t tell me that now. Guess I won’t be having air con this summer, ha ha. Seriously eBay search was my friend, FN2 aux belt. And it went around all the pulleys on that the old one came off so. Possibly the EP3 then for the 2 sizes

On the back of this thread, what's the widest tyre that you can fit onto these alloys?

Gates is what I used. FnLew did a Good guide on his YouTube channel. It's what I watched before attempting mine.

+1 here for team heko. I've got them on my Milano.... Looks great.

Welcome to the forum, nice to see another enthusiast from Bridgend too. Nice looking type r... I've got a Milano CTR too, we all know they're the fastest.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but is anyone still on here selling these Earthing kits? Thanks

I've also been looking into getting springs too, question is I see a lot of the type rs are lowered on the 15mm eibachs but on 18"s I've got the 19"rage alloys, what the maximum I can lower too before scrubbing etc. The cars purely for looks and not track days etc.

Were the calipers so easy to refurb yourself? Whilst they were stripped, why didn't you get them powder coated? The hose kit/engine dress kit, what didn't you like about it? And where'd you get both kits from? Caliper and hose kit?

How have you wired that into the car?? It Looks great

Bridgend Honda, seem pretty legit and fair. Have you tried them?? Got boost on Pyle industrial estate are great too.

Is that discount through being a forum member?

Cars looking great, where did you get the spoiler from May I ask? Do you have a link?

I've only purchased my FN2 in August. Are Honda looking at these issues and repairing them or is it a case of taking into any independent garage. I've just started to notice the click on mine too.

BUMP THREAD. Any hobbyists interested in this, local to me??

Bump thread, I have Pmd you Wanner69 with an order. Thanks

Good morning all, I've recently purchased a Milano red Fn2 and as the title has said I'm in need of a detailer to correct the paintwork on the car. In the sun you can see that the car is full of swirls and signs of holograms where a poor attempt of machine polishing has been carried out...

Ha ha ha, talk about digging up an old thread. I've only just looked at the date. Sorry all. I was searching for pressed plates and this thread popped up.

Brilliant looking car buddy, where did you get your fog light protectors from and do you have a link/thread fro that? Thanks

Thanks guys, it's only as the car has only ever been to Honda main dealer, and has been stamped fully that I want to keep it that way. As much as I'd love to take it to independent garages to save £££, peace of mind and again the cars history of only been serviced with Honda is swaying me that way.

I'm also in the market for one in South Wales. I've seen links/ads on eBay for lots, but which one is the correct one for the car? Thanks

Are there any suitable replacements kicking around on eBay that people use? Or my best bet trying to scrub up what I have? I've read that people are vinyl wrapping them and then placing stickers over the top? Any links to stickers of the correct size?? Thanks

I've just bought my FN2 a week ago and I noticed a film over the top. I've peeled it of and yes it's a lovely satin finish. Only apparent problem is it seems water has gone underneath the film and sat for a while starting to make rust the edges and bubble slightly in the middle of the plate...

Loving your car by the way. Where did you get the spoiler from? Where did you get the new sills from too? Thanks

Thanks for the links Wilmo, could I not just buy the full service kit from cox motor sport Honda. See link below https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/honda-shop/genuine-honda-civic-type-r-fn2-major-plus-service-kit-2007-2011/ And take all that down to my dealer that way? Would that work out...

Ok thanks guys, roughly what would I be looking at paying for this? And the full service is what you all recommend.

Afternoon guys, So I've recently bought a FN2 Milano red type r, and it's in need of a service. The car has just ticked 55k and the last Service was carried out at 37k. It's got a full Honda service history too. What type of service do I need next? Is it a full or just an interim...
